TL;DR: This report describes the first demonstration of an exclusive association of a distinct 16S sequence with B. anthracis and was able to rapidly identify suspected isolates and to detect the B. Anthracis 16S rRNA gene directly from culture-negative clinical specimens from seven patients with laboratory-confirmed anthrax.
